It is understood the row with staff began after the boxer and family members complained about the food they had ordered.

After lengthy arguments with staff the group were asked to leave the venue, resulting in the dressing down from his other half captured on security cameras.

The footage was later posted on the pub's Facebook page. It is understood police were not contacted over the incident.

One eye-witness, who did not wish to be named, said: "It looked like there was a disagreement with the landlady over food and different plates were being taken to and from the kitchen.

"Eventually it erupted and both sides started swearing and the group were asked to leave. Then all hell seemed to break loose. I didn't see what went on as they went around the corner but there was an almighty bang and lots of shouting and swearing and screaming."

McDonnell is the current European Super Bantamweight title holder and the twin brother of world bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnell.

McDonnell's manager Steffy Bull said the boxer had apologised to the venue and its owners had now agreed to take the footage down from its Facebook page.

He said: "There's two sides to every story and Gavin and his family were unhappy about how they were treated but he's since gone back and apologised to the pub for his actions.

"The matter has been resolved and a line has been drawn under it now as far as we're concerned."

McDonnell is one of Britain's best-known boxers and won the European Super Bantamweight title against Ukranian Oleksandr Yegorov in March.

He is unbeaten in his 15 professional fights, having won 13 of them.

The Glasshouse Pub confirmed the incident but declined to comment further.
